| 0:00.0 | What's up everyone? Kevin here from Epic Gardening. I'm here with Maria from |
| 0:05.7 | Bloom and Grow Radio. If you've been listening for the first two episodes, we've |
| 0:09.4 | kind of gone over a primer of Plant Care indoors, light, water. Now we're getting into some more specifics. |
| 0:15.9 | What about specific locations in the home? So today's episode's all about sunny windowsills. And again, we need to remember not all windows |
| 0:24.8 | are created equal, but I'm going to let Maria come in here and just give you guys |
| 0:28.8 | the download on some really cool plants that you can grow directly in a window sill. |
| 0:34.2 | I'm giving you the DL. She's got the DL guys. I got the DL on windowsills. |

| 1:23.8 | killers. I know this was personally my experience and I know a lot of other people who have gone through it. |
| 1:28.6 | So the sunny window sill is where succulents are allowed to go and that's pretty much it or they're going to do something they're going to is it pronounced ateliation |
| 1:40.0 | etioliation I think it's Eteolate. They're going to Eteolation. Which means grow towards the sun. So when succulents don't get enough sunlight, they grow, having their leaves trying to reach for the sun and when I was |
